For deliverable devices: the smallest I've seen was a 4 inch howitzer shell and the largest I've seen was 6 foot diameter 15 feet long. The first fusion bomb tested, Ivy Mike was 20 foot diameter 80 feet long with 2 foot thick steel walls and a 10 megaton yield. Typical modern missile fusion warheads are cones with about a 6 to 8 inch diameter base 18 to 24 inch height and a 300 to 500 kiloton yield. Nuclear depth charges and torpedoes are the same size as conventional depth charges and torpedoes. Nuclear warheads for cruise missiles are the same size as conventional warheads for cruise missiles. Nuclear landmines are typically a bit smaller than an oil barrel.

What is the smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb?

The smallest possible size for a nuclear bomb is typically around 1 kiloton, which is equivalent to the explosive power of 1,000 tons of TNT.


What is the diameter of a nuclear bomb shockwave?

The diameter of a nuclear bomb shockwave can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the shockwave from a nuclear explosion can have a radius of several miles, causing widespread destruction and devastation.


What is weight and length of a nuclear bomb?

The weight of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and design, but they typically range from a few hundred pounds to several tons. The length of a nuclear bomb also varies based on the specific model, but they can be several feet long.


How big was the nuclear bomb?

The atomic bomb, formed my nuclear fission? that was dropped by Americans on japan? well first, there was 2 of them and to answer your question HUGE Atomic bombs are measured by the mega tonne. That is the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT. So a 50 mega tonne bomb is the equivalent of 50,000,000 tonnes of TNT exploding. The actual size of the bomb can be anything from a giant rocket to the size of a suitcase

What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?

A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.


How many miles can a nuclear bomb reach?

The range of a nuclear bomb depends on its size and type. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying nuclear warheads can reach distances of up to thousands of miles. Some ICBMs have a range of over 6,000 miles.
